There are several to many php libraries that implement database abstraction
for you.  The one that I use is phplib that includes session management
(phplib is used mostly in php3.x when there was no built in session support,
but still works for php4.x), user authentication/permissions and database
abstraction.

I have been using php for between 2 -3 years and have found it to work great
for all my web application projects.
